On the evening of Sunday, January 4, 2026, 27-year-old Javier Martinez was found outside a home on the 200 block of Liverpool Spur in Liverpool, Texas, suffering multiple suspected gunshot wounds. Deputies from the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office and emergency medical personnel responded to a 911 disturbance call; Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene and his body was sent to the Galveston County Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy.

A 28-year-old man, Manuel De Jesus Munoz Chavez of Alvin, was detained at the scene and taken into custody. Authorities have said Chavez is expected to face a murder charge in connection with the shooting. The investigation remains active and officials have not released further details.

Martinez’s family described him as a son, brother, friend and the father of two children. Does anyone in the Liverpool area have information about that night or knew Javier that could help the ongoing investigation?
